athan Wiltsey spent more than a year overseeing a project to put signs along the Prairie Spirit Trail, helping users identify animals, plants and birds they may spot along the converted rail corridor between Iola and Ottawa.
He completed the project Thursday, part of his work to earn an Eagle Scout badge, the highest possible in Boy Scouting.
He and a handful of helpers positioned the 13th and final sign — they accompany benches and rest areas along the 52-mile trail — at the southernmost rest stop north of Iola, between Oregon and Rhode Island Road.
